Quick Prince DP2 712D Windlass Drum - 700W - 12V - 7mm - 1/4" Gypsy

The Quick Prince DP2 712D Windlass Drum is the replacement or upgrade component serious boaters rely on when deploying or retrieving anchors in demanding conditions. Whether you're anchoring in a crowded mooring field, holding position in rough seas, or working shallow waters, this 700-watt electric windlass drum delivers dependable pulling power that keeps your vessel secure. Built by Quick, a trusted Italian marine equipment manufacturer, this drum assembly transforms manual anchor work into a single-button operation, reducing crew fatigue and enhancing safety on deck.

This 12-volt, 700-watt windlass drum is engineered to handle 7mm anchor rope and features a 1/4" gypsy (wildcat) designed for chain-to-rope configurations common on cruising and offshore vessels. The gypsy's tooth profile grips 7mm diameter rope securely without slipping, while the drum's compact profile allows straightforward integration into existing bow installations. Quick's engineering prioritizes reliability in salt-water environments, with corrosion-resistant construction and sealed bearings that withstand repeated cycles in heavy anchor work. The 12V DC electrical architecture makes this drum compatible with standard marine battery banks found on most sailboats and powerboats.

Replacement or restoration projects benefit most from this drum when original equipment has worn or corroded beyond practical use. Boaters upgrading from manual windlasses or rebuilding existing Quick systems will find this drum a direct-fit solution that restores full anchor-handling capability. Installation requires proper electrical integration with a control switch and appropriate circuit protection; consult your windlass manual or a marine electrician to ensure correct voltage supply and grounding. This drum pairs seamlessly with Quick's control systems and is ideal for cruisers, fishing vessels, and any boat operating regularly in anchor-dependent waters.
